Whole path to report file in designer title

[tpontow]

Hello,

is it possible to see the whole path to report file in the desinger window title? Only the filename is displayed in the window title but i would like to see the complete filepath. (See red circle in attached image!)

Hello.

You could change this title with next static property:

Code: Select all

Stimulsoft.Report.StiOptions.Designer.DesignerTitleText = "YourTitle";

Thank you.

I want to start Designer.exe from Stimulsoft installation directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Stimulsoft Reports.Ultimate 2012.1\Bin\Designer.exe.

So i cannot use this source code line. Are there any config files? But if so, how can i dynamically set the DesignerTitelText to report file path. Are there any masks for titel text i can use?

Hello.

We have added a new static property StiOptions.Designer.ShowFullFileNameInTitle. You should set it to True to see full file name.
To set it in the Designer by default, please, use the OptionsHelper.exe utility. You could set all necessary options there and save Options.xml file to the Stimulsoft installation directory.
The ShowFullFileNameInTitle property will be available in our next prerelease build this week.

Thank you

That sounds good! I will try it when the next build is released.

Thank you

Ok, i opened the OptionsHelper tool and changed Property "ShowFullFileNameInTitle" to true. Then i saved the StiOptions into file

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Stimulsoft Reports.Ultimate 2012.1\Bin\Options.xml

After that i opened designer by double clicking on a *.mrt file or by open the designer and then load and *.mrt file. But i still see only Report file name without path. Anything i did wrong? StiOptions seems not to have any effect.

Thanks

Hello.

Please, try to put the Options.xml file in the same folder with mrt-file.

Thank you.

I deleted the Options.xml file from the installation directory and saved it to the location of my .mrt-files. But that doesn't help. In the window title i only see "File name - Designer". I even changed DesginerTitleMask from {0} - {1} to {0}. But that also has no effect. I looks as if Options.xml isn't used anyway.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hello.

Sorry for the delay with answer.
The ShowFullFileNameInTitle property works in the Office 2003 theme now. But in other themes it was overlapped due a technical problem. Now we've solved this problem for all themes.
The Options.xml file should be in one directory with Designer.exe.
Please, check our next prerelease build on November 2.

Thank you.
